Strengthen local shops

Strengthen local shops with smart-store technology

Butcher, bakery, farm shop or florist: with smart-store hardware we extend the opening hours of existing shops – customers buy even when no one is behind the counter. Supply stays in town and revenue grows.

The idea

More opening hours, more revenue – without more staff

  • Smart-store hardware adds self-service and 24/7 hours to the existing shop.
  • Regional products stay available, even outside counter hours.
  • Strengthens traditional shops instead of displacing them.
  • A building block to preserve shops and the village centre.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace my staff?

No. The smart-store hardware adds extra, staff-free hours to your shop. During your usual counter hours everything stays as before – you simply gain additional hours.
